Going to take a test drive  in a 5.0 Mustang tomorrow, only thing I don't like is it's bright yellow but wrap the bonnet in Matt black & a few black side stripes could improve it.😎

Its traditional.

Ford have always produced 2 Mustangs. The v8, and the one for those who should have worked harder at school.

Had the Mustang out for a good run & liked it don't require finance & not interested in gap insurance offered him a cash deal £2500 below the asking price he wouldn't budge so walked away , he's got my details see if he contacts me.

Quite why Ford supply the base spec V8 when the four pot is barely any cheaper or less powerful is beyond me. And the current Mustang is another modern Ford with lots of design, but not much actual style.

The 2.3 litre 4 pot is barely adequate in the Focus RS.

Pretty sure Steve McQueen didn't chase the baddies in an arthritic 4 pot Mustang.  ::)

You would have to be a fool to pay £500 per annum road tax on any car. Unless, of course, money was no object.

I do it twice over but then I'm not the sharpest tool in the box. I actually pay £568 twice. :)

Looks like I'm a fool then .... I liked the car ... the road tax is what it is. My Merc's tax is compensated by the £30 Smart

If I had any sense I'd drive an Astra diesel. I'm such a fool.

Possibly beyond help. :-\
